Chapter 111 Two Weeks
With that kind of introduction, my parents froze for a moment before they pulled me in by the ears.
I expected their scolding, especially from my mom. She always told me to always respect girls and if I ever find someone who I will come to like, she told me to treat them the way I treat her.
However when they asked me again and I repeated my introduction to them, Dad gave a hearty laugh before he looked me in the eye and told me to be responsible.
My Mom was a bit ashamed though, however, upon seeing how serious we are, she also gave up and welcomed the two girls inside with a smile on her face, trying to get to know the two.
I told them that we will stay here for one month for our vacation. Making an excuse that it\'s our high school activity where we will have to do everything on the to-do list we showed them.
Still unconvinced, they tried calling the school for confirmation.
The Principal probably prepared for that as the representative explained to my Mom the high school activity we were doing. Though I don\'t really feel like lying to them, it\'s inevitable if we want this to go smoothly. We only have one month after all.
After that kind of welcome from my parents, Yuko and Yumiko followed me into my room.
Of course, they wouldn\'t be able to stay here with me. Our house is kinda small and there\'s only one guest room that became a storage room. Mom told me to let them in my room first while they\'re cleaning that room for the girls\' use.
"Dai-kun, leave your door open at night."
Yuko whispered seductively to me. With a naughty smile on her lips, she stuck closer to me.
"Hey. I heard that. That\'s unfair, Yuko."
Yumiko complained as she held onto my arm trying not to be left out.
"Join us then. However, we won\'t be able to fit three people in bed. How about we take our turns?"
Yuko? What happened to that Yuko I saw back in the Entrance Ceremony? This girl, is it because she now has a competition close by? Though it\'s a healthy competition between them, she wanted to come out on top.
"Girls. Won\'t you ask me for my opinion?"
Though I said that, I\'m fine whichever. Sleeping next to either one of them became something like a normal occurrence for me now.
"Hmm? You won\'t reject us anyway. Ah. I have a better idea. Dai-kun will come to our room instead."
Yuko really knows me. Err… that\'s right, if it\'s me who will come to their room, I can sleep with both. But if Mom finds out, I will expect another earful from her.
"Un. I like that."
Yumiko nodded repeatedly as her eyes brightened and started to wander off to whichever fantasy land it is.
These two were known to be invincible but whenever they\'re with me, they\'re both turning into maidens in love.
"Haa. You\'re both becoming unruly. Let\'s sit down."
I grabbed their hands and pulled them down to sit with me. Though that stopped them from being restless, their heads were taking in the sight of my room as if it\'s a wonderful place.
After becoming satisfied at the view of my room, Yuko\'s attention switched to a rather odd notion.
"It feels like we\'re really normal teenagers now. Dai-kun, where are you hiding your p*rn books?
Err… Yuko? Normal teenagers wouldn\'t immediately look for p*rn books inside someone else\'s room.
I scratched my head and answered her to satisfy her curiosity.
"We live in the digital age now, why will I still keep it."
And through my answer, her mind processed it and produced another answer for herself.
"I see. So it\'s in your computer."
Yuko stood up and sat in front of my computer. With a playful smile on her face, she beckoned on the confused Yumiko.
"Come here, Yumiko. Let\'s check it."
"Eh? Is it fine to look at it?"
Yumiko looked at me first to ask for confirmation. Though she\'s a bit reserved, I could also see a light of curiosity in her eyes.
"Look at her face. Yuko\'s enjoying this situation. Go. I\'ll watch over you from here."
I didn\'t have any questionable content there anyway.
Err… but to be this calm even if they\'re trying to access my p*rn drive. Adaptability?
Haa… it doesn\'t matter anymore, as long as these two are enjoying themselves. Just that, they won\'t try and pick up anything from there, will they?
After a few minutes, I could hear their exclamations from their unusual discoveries, Yumiko would often go \'Kyaa\' while covering her eyes and Yuko was keenly watching it in interest as if she\'s trying to learn from it.
Ah. I should\'ve stopped that girl.
I thought the worst thing to happen was already that but Mom suddenly entered my room with prepared snacks on her hands.
Upon seeing what the girls were looking at, I immediately earned her reprimanding glare.
After giving me another earful, she turned to the girls and told them to stop looking at it.
Despite being a Hero and someone who could crush a nation with their strength alone, the two girls cowered behind me.
"Mother is kind of scary, Dai-kun."
"Un. And she always gets mad at you."
Err… isn\'t that because of you two? Who told you to check those? Me?
Right. I didn\'t try to stop them. It\'s really my fault, eh?
Haa. Their innocence is scarier than my Mom. I guess I should really have put a little restraint on them.
On that note, our first day at our house ended. My Dad, after hearing what happened, offered me some advice. He still finds it funny that after all the years of me not having any romantic interest, I brought home two extremely beautiful girls at once and only two months after becoming a high school student. If he knew there\'s four more and that high school is a scam, sending their son to Otherworlds to help the Heroes save a world, his heart will probably give in from the amount of shock or he will just pass it off as my lame joke.
During the night, I granted the girls\' wish and went to their rooms. Sandwiching me between them on their futons, the three of us had a very comfortable sleep.
My Mom upon knowing what I did, finally gave up and just sighed before urging us to wake up and prepare for the day.
With this kind of setup, two weeks immediately passed.
My Mom and Dad already got used to the two girls. For them, it\'s like they gained two new daughters. There were even times where Yuko and Yumiko would help Mom with the household chores and cooking our meals
There was also that day when Mom brought out my photo albums. In one of the albums in which the photos were taken during the timeframe of the blank in my memory, a young Yuko was there with me. I immediately recognized her upon seeing it despite the slight difference between the young and the current her. There were several photos with the two of us but after that part, Yuko seemingly vanished from my life.
My parents found that odd and surprisingly Yuko too. I don\'t know, maybe my parents\' memories about that time were also erased or modified, I should ask the Principal if he\'s responsible for it, if not then it\'s probably the one holding that torn page in my memory.
In Yuko\'s case, that was probably the part where her memories were fabricated.
During the night that day, Yuko talked to me about it and told me how she found it odd that she also couldn\'t remember taking those photos with me.
Since I promised the Principal not to tell her the secret, I made her believe that it might have something to do with the blank in my memories. With her trust in me, Yuko accepted that explanation.
The Principal said her memories will naturally unseal itself when she reached the necessary strength, but how strong? Transcendent or more than that? I don\'t know.
At the start of our stay at home, the Kuramoto Household became the talk of the town when their son, which is me, brought home two extremely beautiful girls.
However, with each day that passed, the neighbors slowly got used to Yuko and Yumiko who seldom left my side.
From doing normal things such as shopping, touring the city, trying out every shop in town, going to the amusement park, getting that driver\'s license. Everything.
My classmates and friends from Middle School also heard the news so they started to try reconnecting to me just to see the two in the rumors and well, because of that, a sudden reunion party for my class in middle school happened.
Since it\'s something Yuko and Yumiko never experienced, I attended it with them. They became instant celebrities that I thought they might have a hard time dealing with people but yeah, they just stuck to my side during the whole party which earned me more than just envious glares from the boys in class. Even the girls really found it unbelievable. They knew how I was during our middle school days so upon seeing that the rumors about me were true, they all became shocked.
After that reunion, I started ignoring them as we continued fulfilling everything they listed in their to-do list.
When I saw their smiles and the clear enjoyment they\'re feeling upon doing all the normal things, I also became satisfied and praised myself for bringing them out of that school.
There were some guys who tried to hit on them, however, one glare from either of them was enough for those who had the idea to shake on their knees and tremble in fright.
Yup. They never hesitated to release some kind of aura to stop those kinds of people from approaching them.
During the past two weeks, we already crossed out most of their to-do list. Also, even if we never neglected our training, I estimated that they will achieve their breakthroughs before this vacation of ours ended. Same with mine. By having them as my supply of Flux energy, I slowly push my cultivation near the 3rd realm.
Right now, we\'re walking along the streets from Yuko\'s memory.
"This is where I first met you, Dai-kun."
In an abandoned park with a huge cherry blossom tree in the middle, Yuko pointed at a broken seesaw.
I don\'t have any recollection of it but I remember this park. It is a park I often played at before that blank in my memory. What she remembered this time was probably a real memory and not fabricated.
"Un. We probably really met here, I often used to play here. To think that this has become abandoned now."
I nodded and told them what I remembered.
"I never played outside during my childhood. I\'m kind of envious of the two of you."
Yumiko commented when they saw us reminiscing our childhood.
"Then wanna play here? Maybe we can fix some of these."
With our strength, I might be able to bend that seesaw back in place.
"Wait. Dai-kun."
Before I even took my first step, Yuko stopped me from entering the park. I looked at her and saw her frowning as she looked on top of the cherry blossom tree.
A few seconds later, my Adaptability was also triggered. A figure in a black cloak with only his eyes visible appeared on top of that tree and following him, several other figures in the same outfit appeared as they started surrounding us.
"Dark Cult?"
Yumiko whispered calmly. These figures weren\'t a threat but yeah, for them to have found us.
"Most likely."
Yuko answered her as I felt her using her Foresight to see what awaits ahead.
"I see. It\'s already two weeks, and they already made a move, eh?"
Since we were surrounded, even though we\'re calm since none of these guys was a threat, I told them to act scared or restless.
"Three unusual individuals with higher than normal Power Level were found. What should we do?"
The one on top of the tree said, his eyes were glowing with Dark Energy and he had something like a communication equipment in his hand.
Upon reporting to it, a voice responded to him with its order.
"Capture."
Upon hearing that order, the figures in black cloak all jump at us with their fists coated in Dark Energy.
These guys, they didn\'t know who they were ordered to capture. At least I got the information that they\'re checking an individual\'s Power Level. However, they didn\'t have any accurate measuring equipment. Maybe temporarily as it is still within the prediction of the Principal on when they will start showing up.
